Red and Green

I dreamed the old dream just last night,
    Red and Green, and going home;
I dreamed of no wars left to fight,
    Red and Green, and going home.

I dreamed of those who know no rest,
    Red and Green, and going home;
The refugee, the dispossessed,
    Red and Green, and going home.

And submarines plowshared the sand,
    Red and Green, and going home;
And factories turned to fertile land,
    Red and Green, and going home.

We heal the sick and the insane,
    Red and Green, and going home;
The leper and the limousine,
    Red and Green, and going home.

We saw our likeness in each face,
    Red and Green, and going home;
And with each kindness, gathered grace,
    Red and Green, and going home.

Ah, these are old dreams, nothing new,
    Red and Green, and going home;
Of yet to come, nonetheless true,
    Red and Green, and going home.
    Red and Green, and going home.
    Red and Green, and going home.
